I have a 8gb iPhone that was bought on Sept 10, 2007. Its fully unlocked with firmware 1.0.2. This means it will work with t-mobile and all other sim networks.
I am looking for about $450 shipped without paypal fees for this. On eBay, this are going for like $600 shipped. The screen is perfect becuase as soon as I got this, I put a screen protector on. I also have a crystal case for this so this iPhone is as mint as they come.
I forgot to mention, I will include all accessories included with the iPhone, the receipt and I will transfer ownership of the phone and its warranty to the buyer.

The Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals was great when my dog hurt her leg on a holiday. Even though they were pretty busy we got prompt care from their very nice staff. The doctor that treated her recommended that we took x-rays to make sure that nothing was broken or torn and while they were a bit pricey the peace of mind after they were done was totally worth it. I would recommend the doctors and staff at MECA to anyone needing an emergency vet.

Bachelor Recap- Is there Anything You Want to Ask Me?
by Greg Bauch
posted Mar 15 2011 9:08AM
When I was ten, I pushed Tony Wagner off of his bike to impress my brothers. He fell and hit his head on the sidewalk. God noticed and paid me back last night with three hours of 'The Bachelor'. We took in all three hours of the finale at the Schopp house. I've never watched the Bachelor with people I wasn't married to. It should keep the screaming to a minimum.
Brad Womack has narrowed his Harem down to Emily and the one who doesn't win, Chantal. The three star-crossed lovers are in South Africa for a rose ceremony that will change everything you know about ceremonies.
Before we can get to the only thing anyone watching this show actually cares about, ABC needs to roll out some past footage for the portion of the Bachelor audience who either just woke up out of a coma or have no ability to retain memory. We finally find out the mystery behind Emily. Apparently, and I'm just learning this now, Emily's fiance died in a plane crash right after giving her a child which was later named Ricki. This is the big secret that Emily has been keeping this entire season. I threw a vase across the room.
After the memory montage, Brad stands on a South African mountain to think.
Brad says, "What a place to end this journey, Cape Town, South Africa. I really have always wanted to visit this city." I find it interesting that a guy with the vocabulary of a meal worm has a working knowledge of South African cities.
Brad's family is flown in to meet the two girls and help him make his decision. Brad thanks them a number of times for coming over from Texas. It must have been hard for them to receive a free trip to a country that Brad always wanted to visit from ABC. I'll bet they were all glad that they no longer had to endure hearing Brad go on and on about how bad he wanted to go to Cape Town, South Africa. Every night at dinner, Brad would yell things like, "I don't want these mash potatoes. I want to go to Cape Town, South Africa."
Brad cries for 40 minutes after welcoming his family. His Dad didn't make it. He's never around.
Brad tells his family that Chantal and Emily could not be more different. I disagree. One of them could be a 4-year old boy with vestigial wings.
When Brad is done crying, the two remaining contestants arrive at their Resort Suite. Chantal is first. Brad stops short of sending her back home right away. Chantal sums it up by saying, "Today is a crossroads for my relationship with Brad." For those who don't know, 'Crossroads' is a movie with Ralph Macchio where he is a blues guitar player and wins a bet with the Devil to save a Blues legend's soul. The Devil is Stevie Vai. I'm not certain what Chantal meant with her metaphor.
Brad's family loves Chantal and does a good job of disguising the fact that she's going home in 2 hours. Brad has two brothers, one is a twin. The twin appeared in Brad's last season of the Bachelor and, at that time, looked exactly like him. This was not the case last night. I didn't think an adult's appearance could change that much.
Brad's mom grills Chantal. Chantal assures Brad's mom that she has genuine fake feelings. She says that she loves doing the 'normal' stuff. You know, the normal stuff... like zip lining through the Brazilian Rain Forest, Camping out in a South African jungle amongst a 1,000 candles lit by ABC producers and having sex in a Fantasy Suite? These are the 'normal' things that my wife and I enjoy too.
Before Chantal leaves, she jokes with Brad about how he has to pick her. Brad says, "Easy" and shies away from eye contact. It's pretty clear we just watched 2nd place.
Emily shows up next to meet her new temporary family. Emily tells that camera, "The story of my daughter is bound to come up." Come up? That's all she ever talks about! She needs to go to the mall and have her story airbrushed onto a T-shirt.
Brad's brother accidentally brings up the dead fiance factor. Brad handled it well by saying, "Um, maybe another, um.. okay." That's an exact quote. Emily then tells the group about her pain. Then everyone cries for awhile. Brad's family really takes to Emily fast. Brad's mom crawls up into her lap and makes purring noises. His brothers start looking for work for Emily in Austin. Brad calls Chantal on her cell to dump her.
After the family meetings, Brad takes a minute to sit on his mountain to think.
The next day, Brad and Chantal have their last date. In keeping with the Bachelor spirit of True Love/ Risk Death, the couples get on a boat so they can swim with Great White Sharks. Chantal is a pro. She puts on a wet suit and keeps it zipped up halfway so Brad, and the rest of America, can see the goods. This sparks an hour and half debate in the room over whether or not the buoys are real. The debate is much more interesting than the program on television.
Chantal is smart. When in doubt, let those puppies breathe. When they're done playing with the sharks, they pop some bubbly on the boat. Brad aims the champagne cork into the ocean so as to choke a poor sea lion to death.
Emily and Brad get together the next day for their final date before becoming an engaged couple for 6-months. They're picked up in a helicopter (scream!) Emily starts giving Brad the third degree about becoming a father. It's really comfortable. Brad makes it clear he doesn't want to talk about real life and Emily continues to grill him. For the first time since ABC gave Emily her own soundtrack, the viewer is left with a doubt that Brad might not pick her to win the Gameshow.
With his dates behind him, Brad goes to pick out a ring. The girls talk to the camera about being scared that the guy who dates 20 women might not choose them. ABC makes it clear how serious the situation is by showing footage of the girls thinking in chairs and on piers.
Brad talks about his feelings set to footage of him putting on a shirt. The big moment arrives. Brad stands at the final ceremony spot while the limos arrive.
Chantal gets out first.
It's hardly a shock. Brad clearly was infatuated with Emily. He lets Chantal down gently by spending 12 minutes dumping her and interupting her every time she tries to talk. So, we get Chantal crying her eyes out, Brad explaining that he's not an awful person, Chantal trying to talk and then Brad asking her to listen to him. Finally, after forever, Brad walks Chantal back to the limo. She's devastated. Brad smooth's it over by opening the limo door and saying, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Then, Chantal sits in the limo with a camera guy and a producer and answers questions about her heart breaking. I feel bad until I realize that good people don't date guys on T.V. while guys are also dating 24 other women on T.V.
Emily drives up next. She's wearing a giant napkin. Brad is all shucks and proposes to her. Emily says, 'Yes'. I'm so sick of this show and there is still an hour long 'After the Final Rose' special to go.
I hate ABC so much. I want to get into a limo and cry into a camera, complaining about how much ABC has hurt me with their horrible television program. They're so unfair.
The 'After the Final Rose' show is taped in front of a bunch of women who nod approvingly whenever people are talking. Chantal is brought out first to cry with Chris Harrison. Then, they bring Brad out so Chantal can yell at him. When watching the show back, it becomes clear to Chantal that Brad was in love with Emily the whole time and that Brad only kept her around so he could pet the puppies in the South African outback. It's dramatic.
Emily comes out next. It is revealed that Brad and Emily canceled plans for a televised wedding and even broke up at one point. (gasp)
Emily tells America that Brad has a temper. I call Vegas to throw down some duckets on a domestic. The young lovers (by the way, Brad is 38 and Emily is 24) make with the kissy faces and assure America that they are going to be together forever. The audience nods approvingly.
I have reached the point where I'm ready to punch down trees and there is still a half-hour to go. ABC brings out the only 3 past Bachelor couples who have managed to pretend like they still don't hate each other; Trista and Ryan, Jason and something, and Ali and Roberto. These winners give Emily and Brad advice. I take a moment to hope that parents across the nation have covered the ears of their children.
I just can't stand these people. One of them tells Brad and Emily not to read blogs. It's all I can take. I mentally turn off the television and think about Chantal's boat wear.
ABC reveals the next Bachelorette on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I like Jimmy Kimmel, but I've dedicated 3-hours to this crap. Luckily, there's Google. The next Bachelorette is (edit) Ashley, the perky dentist. The show starts in May. I hate all of you.

I'm making a Tetris-like game and when the game is paused, I wanted some
golden Pause characters to dance around the screen. So I built models
for a P, an A, a U and so on, and tried to implement the P model into my
game. But as you can see on this
Direct X seems to render my mesh completely wrong. I mean, it has wrong edges and stuff.
If anyone can help me,it would be a big help!
(little note, i'm writing the game in Managed Direct X, using the C# programming language)
Thank you for listening!

With CSS you can add a drop shadow to an image. The shadow itself is an image that is displayed under the image for which we want a shadow. The image is displayed over the shadow image and shifted slightly to the top left thus exposing the shadow image. Here is the style sheet for displaying the shadow image as the background image of the DIV that we will display the actual image in.

Using the above style-sheet, you can enclose the image inside a div as shown next:

Click here is how an image with the drop shadow will look like. The shadow, however, only works if you choose a light background for the page.
The same technique can be used to add an image to another DIV. Just create a div specific style-sheet similar to the one above for an image.
div.shadow div { position: relative; display: block; margin: -3px 6px 6px -3px; padding: 5px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; max-width: 800px; }
Click here to see an example of a shadow for an entire DIV. The shadow image is a transparent GIF file that has the shadow edges on the right and bottom. The length and the width is fixed (the shadow image file is 978 x 978). That is, the size of the image file limits the size of the DIVs that have a shadow. A more general option is to have three image files: one for the right, corner and the bottom edges.
The book CSS Cookbook includes excellent coverage of what you can do with CSS. The above style-sheets are based on the techniques discussed there.

Even with pex there is still going to be a lot of soldering. All the baseboards need adapters soldered on both ends as well as having to be soldered together to form runs longer than 10' Then there is all of the manifold work on the boiler itself.
First off-great forum! Glad I found this place! My wife and I bought our 700 SF single story 2 bedroom/1 bathroom ranch with attached garage in Northwestern NJ a little over three years ago. We just finished the basement which gave us an extra 400 SF of living space in the form of a family room, but we'll need more room soon. We knew we would either have to add on or move one day since we are hoping to have three children (our first is due this September ) eventually, so with the housing market being what it is, I think it would be wise to plan for an addition in the next 4-5 years. Basically we need one more full bath and one more bedroom for a total of three bedrooms and two full baths. The addition I've sketched out will simply be a 15' x 26' box tacked onto the rear of our existing home. This will provide the space for two new bedrooms. One of the existing bedrooms will be divided into space for a hallway to access the two new bedrooms, and a full bath connected to the master bedroom. I've been fooling around with ideas in Google Sketchup (amazing tool considering it's a free download) and made up a graphic to illustrate the existing house vs. the planned addition:
The blue walls are the existing walls of the home so you can pretty much tell what the original building envelope looks like. The pink walls represent the planned new construction. The grey walls represent the present bedroom which will be cut up into a hallway and a master bathroom. I realize this isn't a DIY construction site, but I figured that some background would be helpful. Right now the home has a 6 year old forced air oil furnace which we supplement with an add-on wood furnace which is integrated into the existing ductwork. We like heating with wood, and provide most of our heat this way, burning five cords or so per winter, but we hate the forced air heat. There are lots of cold spots in the house no matter what we do, and the dryness is just awful in the dead of winter. In any event, we want to be rid of it when we renovate. I will be doing a lot of the work myself-my FIL is in the construction industry and will be serving as my adviser for the entire project. He will get me subs for the excavation, foundation (there will be a full basement under the addition), and electrical, but the rest we'll be doing ourselves/with the help of a few laborers. Basically I'm trying to get an idea of what skills, tools, etc...I need to install an oil boiler myself.
First, obviously I'm starting from scratch as there is no existing infrastructure for hot water heat. Part of what always made me leery of hot water heat was sweating copper and working with rigid pipe in general. Despite a lot of DIY experience this was something I never quite mastered. Lately though I've been reading a lot about PEX and it's applications in hot water heating. I also happened to see an episode of "Ask This Old House" where they used PEX to add a zone to an existing hot water heat system and it looked fairly straightforward. Is installing a boiler these days really as easy as running attaching PEX to each zone valve, snaking it up to the appropriate baseboard, and then doing the same to bring it back to the cold side of the boiler? I'm hoping so since working with flexible PEX would be a lot easier than cutting copper pipe, sweating elbows, etc... I have the basic idea of how a boiler works down, but one thing I know nothing about is sizing baseboards for a room-can anyone tell me what a good installation would look like in house like mine? I know that I need to do a heat loss calculation to size the boiler, but I have no idea how much baseboard an 11 x 14 bedroom or an 8 x 11 bathroom needs. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Even with pex there is still going to be a lot of soldering. All the baseboards need adapters soldered on both ends as well as having to be soldered together to form runs longer than 10' Then there is all of the manifold work on the boiler itself.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Pex is neat stuff, and works. Soldering isn't really that hard if you follow some strict rules: make the pipe and the socket shiney bright and clean, flux both parts, heat the socket until it will melt solder, and apply solder to the joint, not in the flame, but melted by the heat of the metal. $10 in joints and some pipe and some practice, and you'll be good enough (not great or neat and fast) but leakproof. It also helps if you wipe the hot joint to remove excess solder and make it look better - lots of drips are a sign of sloppy or inexperienced workmanship and it gives you a chance to see how evenly the solder flowed around the joint.
Once you have your heat load analysis, each baseboard heater will have a spec sheet of how much heat per foot it can produce with a specific water temp input and a specific flow rate. You make the thing long enough at a temp you prefer, and you'll know the heat level it can provide. Different types and brands or models will produce a different amount of heat.
What you are attempting is something people go to school (apprentice, college, etc.) many years to figure out. It is not for the feint of heart, and expect some glitches (that may be expensive). Trying to get a foolproof plan over the internet is asking a lot, and unlikely to produce optimum results.

Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
I replaced my hot air heating with hot water in my 100+ y/o house about 20 years ago, before the internet and forums like this. I used all copper, as pex wasn't the material of choice then.
The hardest part will be getting the right information on sizing of the boiler, radiators, etc. Since your FIL is in the trades, he can provide a lot of the technical info and help sourcing the parts. He hopefully can call in a couple of favors to help you with the sizing. If not, you can get pretty close searching various forums and asking lots of questions. The rest is mostly plug-and-chug, aka "grunt work." Even the boilers, especially for the size of your house, will come pretty much complete out of the box.
As jadnashua says, soldering isn't that hard. You just have to take your time and don't cut corners.
My advice to you at this stage is try to design the system with future maintenance and repairs in mind. Don't cheap out, either. Little things designed in now can prevent a future simple repair from turning into a weekend project. The biggest thing is extra valves. Anything that may need replacement should be able to be valved off...circulators, zone valves, expansion tanks, etc. (But NEVER the safety valve!!!) That way you don't have to drain the whole system for a simple repair. Remember, those breakdowns will inevitability happen in the middle of the night or on a holiday weekend. I even designed my system with an extra zone, valved and capped, "just in case."
I am constantly amazed at how many boilers and hot water heaters are installed that can't be isolated from their systems. Replacing a leaking boiler safety valve or dead circulator often requires draining the entire system. At a minimum, the boiler should be able to be isolated from the rest of the system. Better yet, individual components. Replacing the circulator on my boiler was so much easier a couple of years ago because I installed the ball valve flanges in 1992.
I wish you the best with your projects. There is nothing like the satisfaction of completing a project like this.

You don't have to drain anything if you know what you are doing.

DIY hydronics is possible with professional backup. Find a friend in the boiler business first and then proceed with final inspection and sign-off to keep the newborn safe and warm...congrats.
Before anyone starts a DIY radiant floor or other boiler based project, a professional should design the system, performing a heat load for each room so that the radiation is adequate. In smaller homes a combi water heater can be used for both domestic hot water and space heating (a heat exchanger is required).
We use European style panel radiators more than fin-tube radiation, as they warmer, more efficient and take up less space. By the way, no soldering.

Valpo Hall of Fame to Induct Fred Donath
Wednesday, February 09, 2011
A talented multi-sport athlete during his collegiate days at Valparaiso, Fred Donath excelled in both football and wrestling for the Brown and Gold, and on Saturday, February 19 he will be inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame.
His all-around prowess was capped during his senior season when he was named Valparaiso University's Athlete of the Year for the 1969-1970 school year.
On the gridiron, Donath earned All-Indiana Collegiate Conference honors at guard during the 1969 season while helping the Crusaders win ICC crowns both as a junior and as a senior.
On the wrestling mat, he won a pair of ICC championships, one in the heavyweight class as a junior and another in the 190-pound class as a senior. Donath also helped lead Valpo to its only two ICC championships in school history as a team.
Upon graduation from Valparaiso, Donath went into a career in retail management.
The Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be held on Saturday, February 19 at 1 p.m. at the St. Teresa of Avila Student Center. Please note, this is a time and location change for the banquet. The inductees will also be recognized at halftime men's basketball game on the same day.

So recently there was an email sent out (by my father, to the rest of the family) and it was basically saying that all Democrats hate god and blah blah blah, nation dying blah blah blah, here are some bible verses. After some intense discussion where most of my family shat on my beliefs and called me stupid, I started a discussion with my father asking him to not include me on these types of emails in the future. He then said that I need to change my ways and I emailed him back instances where religion has failed and should not be involved in government. This was his response:
Views: 720
Here is my two cents.
Focus on persuading your father to accept an arrangement where you both avoid religion and politics in your email and everyday conversation. Emphasize that your relationship with him is important to you, and that you propose this out of concern that the resulting discord otherwise saddens and hurts you, and is harmful the relationship between you. Tell him the family bond is more important than matters of churches and governments.
Here's the most important part. If he insists on starting these conversations anyway, then go ahead and have them. But each time, remind him how he's insisting, express your concern for the relationship between you, and tell him you'd prefer to avoid these subjects in the future for that sake.
Then, have at it. His cherished beliefs are fair game by his own doing. Respond to what he says. Make absolutely sure you never attack him personally. Instead, put all your effort into refuting any fundamentalist positions he puts forth, whether religious or political. Prepare for it. Make it your hobby. Read up on common religious arguments and fallacies. Be a skilled debater. Do your homework. Stick with facts and logic. Cite your sources of information. Ask him to provide his sources and to be specific. Above all, read up on the Nazis, as you can be sure he'll make lots of feeble and fact-free comparisons between your views and theirs.
Sooner or later, after he's taken a few intellectual beatings, or dished out a few emotional ones to you himself, you'll have laid the groundwork for one of two things. He'll either accept your offer to avoid the subject, or you'll have good reason to tell him you'd rather delete his email unread, or withdraw from an in-person conversation and go home.
This approach might take years to fall into place, and may involve a few more damaging and hurtful exchanges, but in my similar experiences with hyper-religious family, it works eventually.
HONESTLY, you ask? Of course you aren't "horrible." What you are, unlike your father, is intelligent. The very fact that he justifies everything he purports to believe by referring to an ancient black book of dubious authorship is proof that he is not a thinker, but a follower, no matter how eloquently he expresses his beliefs. Please, Amanda, keep thinking! To surrender that right and privilege is to deny your humanity.
My only problem with you is the apparent lack of courage implied by your not proudly proclaiming that you are an atheist - a person who guides her life, not by supplication to supernatural deities, but by science and reason. In my 77 years of existence, I have encountered uncounted entreaties and objections from parents, relatives, friends, and others who tried to shame me into believing the nonsense they believed. NOT ONCE did it occur to me to replace reason with superstition. THAT really would have made me ashamed. I am unambiguously proud to be an atheist, and IF that's what you are, so should YOU be proud to embrace it.
Thank you guys so much for your thoughts. I really appreciate all of them. I'm getting to the point in my life when I'm just done dealing with my family. I've already "come out" to my step siblings and am going to tell my sister soon, I just want to tell her before I tell my father, step-mother, and mother and all hell breaks loose. I've been putting it off because I am a coward, I'm worried about losing them and being completely cut out of the family get togethers. I've already been cut out of several due to the conflict between my brother and me, and I feel that this could be the catalyst that would cause them to cut me completely out of their lives. Like a cancer, which is what they would think about me. Ugh kk enough bemoaning my situation, I'm sure others have much more difficult ones. Thanks again guys!
Dear Amanda:
'To thy own self be true'.
Your willingness to pursue a path contrary to family and much of culture, while unsettling, is seen by many intellectuals as, the way to enlightenment. Sadly, I am not yet convinced that atheism is on that path, but it has been my experience, that if there is a reality, thet deep experience should offer a glimpse of it.
Your father, while commited to a position you find divergent from your own, still holds some things as sacred. These might only be perceived darkly, or measured with blunt tools, but could offer you both a ground on which to stand. Sadly, I have not always been able to find these with a shared clarity..;p(.
I wish you well. Mind /soul building is very hard work....
It's obvious, Amanda, that your father loves you very much, but it is equally obvious that like many Americans,, he's bought into the whole Judeo-Christian religion, written by men thousands of years ago, who weren't even aware that the earth was round.
As it says in the comical Christmas Carol I'll be posting in a couple of months, "It's better to be loved than to make a point."
I'd keep my letters friendly and loving and stay completely away from the subject, with one exception - if he includes a biblical quotation in his letter, without any further comment, in your return letter to him, include a quotation from someone like Jefferson, Adams, Einstein, or other famous pesron, denouncing religion. If you need some, I have lots.
When I was growing up, my dad was pretty religious, too. There was a lot of pressure from him to go to church and to be active in it. Even though he said I had a choice in going, I really never really felt like I did. If I had said no, then his disappointment would have been obvious. My father, being a man I respected, was not a man I wanted to disappoint. So yes, I felt like I was forced to go as well. Eventually, I wanted to go. I got pretty wrapped up in it, but it was more along the lines of "if you can't beat them, join them."
Venturing out on a limb, I'd say you might feel a similar way and that every time he attempts to convince you that he is right it comes back to feeling like you don't have a choice if you want his respect. It might help if you explain to him what your ethics are and where they come from. It's hard for many religious people to contemplate how to live life without it. My dad told me that without religion he wouldn't know what to do in life. They think that the same goes for everyone else that without the guidance of the divine, a person liable to go all crazy and the world will fall apart, which we can see is silly, but to him, that's how the world works.
It sounds like his religion is a very important part of who he is. I'd imagine he thinks it was one of the greatest things that happened to him. Telling him that you don't want to hear about a part of his life that he thinks is the greatest thing since sliced bread is probably pretty disheartening to him. He may feel that your rejection of religion is a rejection of him.
Assuage his fears. Let him know that you are still an ethical person and you certainly going to lead a life like that of his father. Help him understand you and where you are at and how you view life. He's concerned about you. He thinks that he's found the best way to live life and that (probably because of his experience is life) he thinks that any other way will lead to ruin. And he wants that best way for you because he cares. So when you say that you disagree with him about matters of faith, I imagine he might also take it as a rejection of a gift that he's trying to give you out of love.
I know it's seriously tempting to combat these fallacious ideas about a Christian country and the Biblical basis of America and how the world will end if Jesus isn't important and all that other nonsense, but leave it for another day. That's not the battle you need to fight. Don't get distracted. The battle you need to fight is acceptance. You won't do that by standing apart, but by reminding them that about values you still share. If your family wasn't important to you, I don't think you'd be arguing with them or worrying over this enough to ask a bunch of people on the internet their opinion.
Here's an example right here that I couldn't help but notice: "He then said that I need to change my ways and I emailed him back instances where religion has failed and should not be involved in government." Your dad is saying that he is concerned for your future and you respond with politics? I can see your point in there (religion can be detrimental to people's lives), but that's the wrong way to go about explaining it especially to someone who is likely to never experienced how it can hurt others. That's a point you can start from: by explaining how their actions are hurting you. That you want to be a part of the family, but that you feel that being religious is part of that requirement.
It's a fine line some of us have to walk. I hope it works out for you.
Thanks Hawk, you have a lot of valid points, thanks for the time and thought you put into responding to this. And I think that's probably the best route.
Well, I do what I can!
imo, the very first sentence is suspect:
Well, my question would be when did I ever "force" my beliefs on you? You may have been required to go to church when you were under our roof, but you were never forced to pray for Christ to be your Savior.
Children model strongly off of their parents in a natural and automatic way; to the point of overriding external cultural influences. That's not wrong by itself, but this is a dicey subject you have to be really, really careful about, imo. I think taking you to church should have been presented to you a little more objectively, by allowing you to ask to go after speaking to people of different faiths and, of course, atheists. As long as you do this due diligence, what you teach by example isn't bad by itself.
- kk
Hi KK,
You're right, that first sentence is suspect, because he did force his beliefs on me. We went to church at least 3 times a week, we were home schooled (I was the only one who didn't go to the xtain school my siblings went to for high school since we moved and there were no xtain schools around us), growing up every adult that I had contact with told me that I was going to hell if I didn't accept jesus as my personal savior AND when I finally did my family would refuse to tell me if I really was saved for not. Hell is a terrifying place to think you are going to when you're a little child (or at anytime if you believe in it). We had family devotion time every night where the bible was read, prayed before every meal, holidays all related to christ in one way or another, and other faiths and belief systems where ridiculed and said to be false. What else was I supposed believe if I didn't want to go to hell?
Ugh, sok, stop rant now. XD
Welcome to the 'A little more light Zone'. As an atheist/humanist, we often rant at theists, find fault with other beliefs, and net-pick at details. Atleast, you are more free to change your mind, and allow yourself the opportunity to try the options from column B, without too much condemnation. What condemnation you do received can be mostly ignored, unless they are from the sysop. LOL
Wow, really sucked to be you as a child! That whole "home-school/Christian school" thing is nothing more than an effort to keep any other ideas out of kid's heads except for the ones Mom and Pop want in there - a combination of brain-washing and Stockholm Syndrome.
In this country, that constitutionally separates church from state, Bush II established vouchers - taxpayer money - for parents to use as tuition for private (i.e., religious) schools, relieving those parents of the burden of paying for their decision to indoctrinate their children in a plastic bubble, isolated from real life, and placing it on us.

Will there ever be another horse like Barbaro? Maybe so, if it were up to cloning researcher Katrin Hinrichs. Theoretically, you could take a tissue sample from the now-dead racehorse, culture some cells and freeze them for future Barbaro clones, she said.
"It just seems to make sense to do that when you have an animal that's genetically valuable," the veterinarian who heads Texas A&M's Equine Embryo Laboratory told me today.
Not that you'd ever put a Barbaro clone in a race. First of all, the rules of thoroughbred racing bar horses produced through cloning, or even through artificial insemination. But there's a more fundamental reason why clones don't make good racers, Hinrichs said.
"This is not a way to produce competitors, because cloning carries along with it so many things that could affect its robustness as a foal. ... If we were to clone Barbaro, that clone would be smaller than Barbaro, maybe not as wide across the chest," she said. The clones would likely lack the environmental factors that turned Barbaro into a champion - such as factors that are passed along from mare to foal during the early stages of pregnancy.
Nevertheless, even though the clone might not be built like a champion racehorse, his sperm would pass along the genes of a champion. And that's how cloned horses would make their mark - as breeders, not racers.
"A clone of Barbaro might not be a good racehorse, but the one thing is that the clone would produce the same foals that Barbaro would have produced," Hinrichs said.
Hinrichs made her mark in the cloning field two years ago, when she and her American and French collaborators produced the first horse ever cloned in the United States. Only one other research group, Texas-based ViaGen, is up and running in the horse cloning race. And this race is more of a marathon than a six-furlong dash. Last year, Texas A&M's group produced just seven cloned foals, while ViaGen produced another five, Hinrichs said.
"We're not exactly burning up the highway here - compared to, say, cattle, where they have dozens of labs working on this throughout the world," she said.
The current policies of the top horse racing associations have served to hold down the commercial interest in cloned horses.
"The main problem is that they can't be registered with any American-type breed registry," Hinrichs explained. "This is what would stop a thoroughbred from racing. But there are areas of competition that are very worthwhile that don't require registration."
For example, Texas A&M's first cloned horse, Paris-Texas, is a genetic copy of Quidam de Revel, one of France's best-known jumping horses and most expensive studs. Hinrichs said Paris-Texas' progeny could well compete in future show-jumping events, carrying Quidam's champion genes into the race. ViaGen, meanwhile, has been cloning cutting horses as well as steeds built for other equine sports.
Winning competitions isn't the only reason for researching animal cloning, of course. Hinrichs said genetic material preserved at facilities such as the Frozen Zoo in San Diego could someday give a boost to endangered species. "That offers an amazing resource for genes that are [otherwise] lost forever," she said.
It's not yet clear whether the appropriate samples were taken from Barbaro before he died. But considering how much attention the topics of DNA analysis and cloning have gotten in the past few years, I'd have to think there's a suitable sampling of Barbaro's tissue already sitting in a flask of liquid nitrogen somewhere.
Even though clones are currently barred from thoroughbred racing, Hinrichs said it still might be worth leaving your options open. Who knows? Maybe the rules will change in 50,000 years - which Hinrichs said is the estimated half-life for the potency of frozen sperm samples.
Update for Jan. 31, 10:30 p.m. ET: The surgeon who treated Barbaro says that no sperm was taken from the horse before he was euthanized. Dean Richardson acknowledged that future fertility would have been a bonus, but "we only were interested in saving his life." No word about tissue samples, though.
Update for Feb. 2, 9:30 p.m. ET: This story in the New York Daily News says Barbaro's owners have denied taking any sperm from Barbaro, or saving any DNA for cloning. Actually, just having a DNA sample would be insufficient for cloning, anyway. You'd need to preserve live cells. But I would side with Hinrichs on this matter: It just seems to make sense nowadays to set aside tissue, or at least DNA, from any genetically significant specimen.
I know that sounds a little bit like the equine equivalent of "They Saved Hitler's Brain." And I know that the rules of thoroughbred racing currently rule out clones or artificially bred animals. But when we're talking about creatures worth millions of dollars, I don't see the harm in preserving a little bit of genetic posterity, for research purposes if for no other reason.

The delivery men were so nice and accommodating. They allowed us to vacuum up the dust and clean the area before installing the new fridge (The Frigidaire Gallery.) They even let me take their picture in front of it. I'll return their kindness and not post it here.
I was able to immediately start stocking it with cold items and was encouraged to do so as it would help the fridge cool down faster. It's lovely. Really, it is. I'm still re-arranging the inside of the fridge part here and there to get just the right fit. I am SO thankful to have two refrigerators (we put our old one in the garage) especially with the party yesterday. I do think a larger family can benefit greatly from having an extra fridge and/or freezer.
Aside from a screechy top drawer and the fact that my other appliances pale in comparison to the Gallery's beauty, I see no flaws yet. Only fluffy fridgy goodness.
We do distill our water, but the special "best in class ice & water filtration" system is a nice back up when I just sat down and the kids ask for a glass of water. They can reach their cups and now they can easily get their own ice and water straight from the fridge door. Frigidaire's main focus with giving it to me in the first place was to showcase the time saving features and I will say just that alone has been a nice time (and sanity!) saver.
And something I just realized, while admiring this now almost one-month old
And my floor needed the wash anyway.

text: Pork Producers Distribute Meals To Military Families More than 1,200 children from military families enjoy a pork meal Published on: Dec 12, 2012 Pork producers from across the country served hundreds of U.S. military families by distributing pork meals on Dec. 2 during the 2012 Snowball Express, a charity for the children of America's fallen military heroes. "We appreciate the sacrifice these parents and children have made, and we want to give something back," said Derrick Sleezer, a pork producer from Cherokee, Iowa, and member of the National Pork Board. More than 1,200 children and 700 adults from military families across the country traveled to Texas in early December for the Snowball Express, which was held in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Forty-three pork producers from Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, Massachusetts, Oregon, Oklahoma and Illinois were on hand to greet the families. They also distributed Pork Checkoff gift bags filled with coloring books, pork recipes and more.More than 1,200 children from military families enjoy a pork meal. (Checkoff photo) Following a parade at the Ft. Worth Stockyards, the pork industry volunteers served more than 1,000 pork burgers, 1,000 hot dogs and 750 pork chops during the Snowball Express, which helps connect military families to one another and creates opportunities for friendship and communal healing during the holidays. The opportunity also reflects the pork industry's We Care initiative, which demonstrates pork producers' commitment to established ethical principles that promote a better quality of life in local communities. "I'd volunteer for the Snowball Express again in a heartbeat," Sleezer said. "As pork producers, we want to help build stronger communities, and we appreciate the opportunity to be part of worthwhile events like this that are much bigger than the pork industry." The National Pork Board has responsibility for Checkoff-funded research, promotion and consumer information projects and for communicating with pork producers and the public.

Well if working with Shaun LaBelle last night wasn't enough…the Palms hosted an album release/ birthday party for me. If I weren't indebted enough to Zoe Thrall, Reggie Turner and Larry Fink over there, they went over the top last night for my birthday. I was able to invite friends and family and the whole evening was so much fun.
We listened to my CD and got to play the newest song for everyone. Then Zoe gave me the ultimate birthday present: a purple microphone that was specifically designed according to the specification given to them by Prince. After I opened it, my mom went up and told everyone how much I have loved mics ever since I was little. A bit embarrassing but she is right. You couldn't have given me a better present. THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is truly a blessing that will live in my heart forever.

A great Microsoft image of the future, too bad it's a video that will go nowhere [Video]
There's a really awesome video that hit the web today which showcases a future of touch and holographic computing as envisioned by Microsoft. Granted it isn't meant to be some magical template of what Microsoft wants to bring to market but rather interesting ideas for us to consider.
The problem is that I don't believe we will ever see anything even remotely close to what is envisioned in the video, primarily because our technological future is being killed off by outdated; and abused, patent and copyright laws.
I also agree with John Gruber when he writes at Daring Fireball about this video
Imagine if they instead spent the effort that went into this movie on making something, you know, real, that you could actually go out and buy and use today.
Quit making videos about some imaginary future Microsoft and just bring it to us instead.
@WinExtra It's a great video, what many people don't know if that a lot of the tech shown in the video is tech that we already have.

Raticate has been the butt of many a joke over the years. While in some respects these jokes are true, Raticate is anything but a joke on the battlefield in DPP. With its ability, Guts, Raticate's Attack can reach sky-high levels; couple that with Raticate's naturally high Speed, and one has quite the potent sweeper. Raticate's only downfalls are its low defenses, its limited usable movepool, and the fact that it has some major competition from fellow Guts abusers such as Ursaring, Swellow, and Hariyama. Don't let the stigma of the beginner's rodent blind you to the fact that Raticate is very capable of sweeping teams with the right support.
Depending on how one wants to use Raticate's Guts-boosted power, with this set, Raticate can be played in two ways: as either a scout or a late-game sweeper. If played as a scout, Raticate should come in during early-game on something it forces out, such as Chansey, and activate its ability. When the opponent reveals their Raticate counter, Raticate should use U-turn to switch to the appropriate teammate and keep momentum on your side of the battle. Facade is the STAB move of choice because after the Flame or Toxic Orb has been activated, its Base Power reaches 210 (with STAB factored in). To demonstrate Facade's power, Raticate is able to 2HKO Milotic and OHKO Chansey after Stealth Rock with a Guts boost under its belt. Sucker Punch is the recommended choice for the second slot as it allows Raticate to deal good damage to Pokemon that are faster than it, such as Sceptile, Alakazam, and Mismagius. Crunch can be used in place of Sucker Punch since it is Raticate's strongest and most reliable move against Rotom and Spiritomb.
If using Raticate as a late-game sweeper, Reversal can be used in U-turn's spot to hit Rhyperior and Registeel for super effective damage once Raticate's health has been diminished sufficiently through poison or burn damage. Finally, Swords Dance can be used in the last slot over Protect to provide Raticate with the power to OHKO the majority of the UU metagame that doesn't resist Facade. However, Protect is the recommended choice to allow Raticate to safely activate its Orb of choice and scout the opponent's next move.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Other STAB moves in Raticate's repertoire include Return, Double-Edge, Quick Attack, and Last Resort. Return and Double-Edge are left out in favor of Facade's higher Base Power after the Toxic or Flame Orb has been activated. Quick Attack is Raticate's other available priority move, though Raticate needs as much type coverage as it can get, and the coverage provided by the priority Sucker Punch is just too good to pass up. Last Resort has a high Base Power, but it is unreliable and highly situational. Raticate's only other notable physical coverage moves are Flame Wheel and Zen Headbutt. Flame Wheel is Raticate's strongest attack on Registeel if Reversal is not at full power, but other than that, is utterly useless. Zen Headbutt can be used to hit Weezing super effectively and provide flinch hax, but Raticate has much more reliable moves available to it.
Thunder Wave is an interesting choice for the last slot in the Guts set to paralyze faster threats on the switch. However, it is hard to use because most Raticate switch-ins are Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types, most of which don't mind the paralysis. Taunt can be used as well to prevent Pokemon such as Rhyperior or Aggron from using Rock Polish in an attempt to sweep. While useful, it is very risky, as one false prediction would lead to Raticate's quick demise. Screech is another way in which Raticate can cause more switches and rack up more residual damage from Stealth Rock and Spikes.
Finally, Raticate is capable of pulling off the infamous F.E.A.R. set. The acronym stands for Focus Sash, Endeavor, (Quick) Attack, Raticate (Rattata / Rodent). The idea is to allow the opponent to activate Raticate's Focus Sash and attack on the same turn with Endeavor, bringing the opponent down to 1 HP. On the next turn, Raticate is free to pick off the opponent with Quick Attack. The strategy is very difficult to accomplish due to the prevalence of Stealth Rock, which effectively renders Focus Sash useless, and Raticate being required to be slower than the opponent, diminishing one of Raticate's better qualities.
Checks and Counters
Rock- and Steel-types such as Registeel, Rhyperior, and Steelix are the biggest obstacles that stand between Raticate and a clean sweep. Weezing is another hard stop to any sweep that Raticate may attempt. Tangrowth and Leafeon take a large chunk of damage from Facade, but it's not enough to severely threaten them; in return, they can dispose of Raticate with Power Whip or Leaf Blade, respectively. Slowbro makes a good check to non-Swords Dance Raticate since it can take most of Raticate's attacks relatively well, heal off any damage with Slack Off, and remove Raticate with Surf. Physically defensive Spiritomb is another Pokemon that can stop Raticate in its tracks, removing it with Pursuit or Sucker Punch. Additionally, defensive Fighting-types such as Hitmontop and Hariyama can survive Raticate's assaults and hit it for super effective damage with their STAB attacks. Finally, Hitmonlee, Primeape, and Blaziken holding a Choice Scarf can get the jump on Raticate and eliminate it; however, all three are easily OHKOed by Raticate's boosted Facade should they attempt to switch into it.

The Delfonics
By NIck Castro
The Delfonics have remained one of the most legendary soul groups of the 60's and 70's. They begun a sound in the late 60's, along with producer Thom Bell, that would predict the moves of other soul artists in the 70's. They are most famous for songs like, "La-La (Means I Love You)", "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide Your Love)", and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)". Along with the other Bell produced group, The Stylistics, who members of Delfonics would join 40 years later, the group has been heavily sampled... Read More

Geek Ramblings is Dougal Campbell's personal blog, where he occassionally dumps bits of content from his brain. He does this for various reasons:
- Because he found something interesting, and thought others might also find it interesting.
- Because he has a bad memory and wants to be able to find the information again later.
- Because he just needed a place to vent.
- Because he was bored.
How does this affect your life? Probably not a whole heck of a lot. But, hey, if you're reading this site, then some of the above might just apply to you, too, eh?
What is a "Dougal"?
- Dougal
- Ernest MacDougal Campbell III
Dougal is a geek who lives in the small town of Canton, Georgia (which is in the southeastern United States, for any of you visitors from elsewhere in the world). His wife, Susan, is also a geek. Together, they are raising three potential geeks, Jamie, Mary, and Claire. "Dougal" rhymes with "Google" and "frugal".
I thought your last name was "Gunter"?
No, that's a common mistake. Almost as common as people thinking that my first name is supposed to be "Douglas". The "gunters.org" domain has old roots that are hard to explain. I'll just say that it had something to do with my college years and beer.
How do I get in touch with you?
My Contact Page has a variety of methods you can use.
What have you done for me lately?
- I'm the creator of Twitual, a service which lets you compare your Twitter friends and followers lists in interesting ways.
- I was formerly a core developer on the WordPress project.
- I've made several WordPress plugins: Easy Gravatars, FancyBox Gallery, HeadMeta, Theme Preview, and the Text Filter Suite.
- I created the Ping-O-Matic, which provides an easy way for you to ping many blog registration services in one quick step.
- I've contributed code to Simplog (formerlyknown as "MyPHPBlog") in the past
- I added the original code for the Hexagon Pattern to the POV-Ray Raytracer.
- I upload photographs to iStockphoto.com, where you can download tons of high-quality stock photos. Check out my portfolio, if you like.
What can I do for you?
Thanks for asking! I'll happily accept donations either directly, or in the form of items from my wishlists.

We tell our story best through the experience we provide—through our exclusive brands, our product, our stores, and our personalized service. But our customers tell us of one theme that seems to run through our 30-year existence: the deep sense of satisfaction they feel after spending time with us.
"Our proposition is pretty simple," says CEO Brian Hill. "We offer beautifully designed clothes that are on-trend, high quality, and of good value."
Our company has grown just as simply and organically. We began in 1984 as a single boutique in Vancouver, Canada, and over the years, expanded to over 60 locations across North America, including Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Toronto. And in fall 2012, we opened the doors to our 13,000 square-foot Fifth Avenue flagship boutique in Manhattan. To say we're excited about this would be an understatement, even for us.
We cherish excellent design and honour it by paying the most acute attention to every detail of what we do. Each season, we curate a collection of exquisitely designed clothes from our own portfolio of exclusive brands—Wilfred, Wilfred Free, Le Fou by Wilfred, TNA, TNAction, Babaton, Talula, A Moveable Feast, Community, La Notte, and Roving—finding an ideal balance of trend, quality, and value. We feel we share our love of fashion with our customers by giving them a unique vision of what's best in every season.
Our design philosophy also extends to our stores, which strike the perfect balance of sophisticated and welcoming. We create each one with high-quality natural materials, ambient lighting, and luxuriously warm finishes that make for a casual, lounge-like atmosphere. Since we design every store individually, no two are the same.
No real conversation about the "Aritzia experience" would fail to mention our amazing staff: friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to offer personalized customer service to anyone who comes through our doors. This relationship is crucial to us. After all, "excellent customer service never goes out of style," says Hill.
Also in fall 2012, we launched our first-ever online shopping website to bring this unique Aritzia experience to customers across North America. We've clocked a lot of hours making sure it's the best it can be and that it represents all the things we value. We hope you love it as much as we do.

ONE more reminder, guys, that TOMORROW! is Valentine's Day and if you haven't already done so, you need to be rounding up candles and roses.
In all the years the blonde has been "my Valentine," that's one day I've never forgotten. I'll admit a bit of carelessness on other occasions but not Valentine's Day.
With that said, a few things I came up with (online) about lover's day:
• For the record, 73 percent of Valentine flowers are purchased by men, 27 percent by women. And 15 percent of our women send flowers to themselves.
• 60 percent of our roses are grown in California, most sold on Valentine's Day. A confession here: I no longer buy roses. Last year, I bought a small potted azalea. It was red and kept its blooms for six weeks sitting on the kitchen table. Roses may last three or four days.
• Most notable Valentine's Day was Feb. 14, 1929. That's the day gunmen lined up seven members of George "Bugs" Moran's gang and shot 'em dead. The gunmen were thought to be in the employ of Al Capone.
• In 1537, King Henry VIII of England declared Feb. 14 a national holiday. Today, only England, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France and Australia observe the occasion.
Finally, a bit of Valentine "corn:"
Q: What did the stamp say to the envelope on Valentine's Day?
A: I'm stuck on you!
And, with that ...
Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetheart.
And I'll see you tonight.
Nonnie celebrated her 99th birthday with daughter Jeffie Beth McManus, who came in from South Carolina to say "Happy Birthday" to her mom.
Stephanie carries a 3.65 GPA ... and that's off such studies as calculus, anatomy, physics, EH 101/102, and government/economics.
She is a member of the National Honor Society of High School Scholars, Mu Alpha Theta (math honor society), and secretary of the Beta Club.
Busy, busy is a word outside the classroom. She has been on the volleyball team that made it to the Elite Eight last year, to the Final Four this school year. Stephanie is All-County and All-Area in volleyball, second team All-County in soccer. You can throw in basketball and cheerleading as well.
"Stephanie is an amazing student with an intense desire to learn and reach every goal she has set for herself," says Sandra Pullen, senior English and Beta Club adviser.
Her goal is to become a plastic surgeon.
Proud parents are Joseph and Erin Waldrep, Liberty Lane, Anniston.
Take a bow, young lady ...

I hear their wails at night, their cries for rescue. They aren't alive. I'm not even sure there're human.
Funny, I used to think I was crazy, that everything was all a giant hallucination. Several psychologists later, I realized maybe I wasn't so crazy. After all, hallucinations don't touch you.
I don't want this gift-this curse to see the dead. I didn't sign up for it. Unfortunately, Fate has other plans for me, regardless of a signature.
"Stop it," I grumble at one of the more daring ghosts as it twirls a strand of my hair around its bony, skeletal fingers. A low, gravelly sound I assume to be a laugh is the only response. I glare at the translucent spirit, though it probably can't see. It's missing one eye and the other is swollen shut.
"What happened to you? To all of you?," I almost ask, I really do; but that involves having an actual conversation with one of those….Things.
But I didn't sign up for this!
